Poem by Robert Herrick

On a Perfumed Lady

You say you're sweet: how should we know
Whether that you be sweet or no?
-From powders and perfumes keep free;
Then we shall smell how sweet you be! 

1. To Sapho
2. His Teares to Thamasis
3. On Himself (Lost to the world; lost to myself)
4. Upon Julia's Ribbon
5. The Rock of Rubies, and the Quarry of Pearls
